About

Canvas Weddings provides unique and artistic wedding planning services in New York's Hudson Valley and beyond. We like to think that our work on weddings is similar to an artist’s work with his paintings. In order to create his masterpiece, he must understand and appreciate his root element ---the canvas. That’s how we approach our wedding work --- we first and foremost get to know, understand and appreciate the couple --- our root element --- whose special day we are helping to create. Everything else flows from that.

We have found that the more couples treat their weddings as expressions of their unique identity as a pair, the more simple, stress-free and joyful the planning process becomes. Modern wedding planning can be a taxing and exhausting process --- in fact, some say that the average wedding consists of nearly 5,000 details! As such, we believe it is our duty to help each couple determine their unique point of view, which will, in turn, narrow the focus of the event and simplify the decision-making process.

As your coordinator, clients can rely on us for prompt communication, an organized approach, a trusted confidante and a friend whose main goal is to help them create an artful, expressive day that they can enjoy and look back on with fondness.

Founder Corinne Van Arsdale created Canvas Weddings with the notion that every couple (and every wedding) is different, which is why why we offer a wide variety of services to help you create your wedding masterpiece. We offer packages ranging from wedding weekend coordination to full-service start-to-finish planning, as well as a la carte services and hourly rate consultation sessions. Canvas Weddings also provides coordination services for surprise engagements, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, engagement parties, and more.

Elopement Day 2025

First of all, we are so grateful to Corinne, her entire team, and all of the vendors involved for this incredible opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community. It just shows the incredible care and love Canvas Weddings brings to their work. We felt so cared for every step of the way. As far as planning goes, everything was timely, organized, and thoughtful without feeling rushed or forced. The venue chosen was beautiful and the Canvas team did an amazing job of making the space even more inviting. Even though it was “just us” it felt like we were surrounded by family. Each member of the team has a knack for making you feel comfortable, heard, and downright giddy. Thank you so much for the best day of our lives! So much love to you all!

Hiring Canvas Weddings Is The Best Investment We Made! 11/10

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding this past summer was working with Canvas Weddings. We were so grateful to have hired Corinne and spent the most fun and productive year and half working with her to plan our big day. Corinne and her team were so thorough, organized, professional, kind, thoughtful, prepared, communicative, and overall awesome! Corinne put us at ease and calmed our concerns, answered our questions, and advised us based on her years of Hudson Valley wedding industry experience. We were repeatedly complimented by other vendors in the industry for hiring Corinne and Canvas Weddings as our planning team. Corinne worked with us every step of the way from matching our design and aesthetic vision to our vendors, floorplans and rentals — to handling all vendor communication and budget tracking. On our wedding day, Corinne and Bonnie ran a tight ship and all of our planning and effort paid off as we experienced such a smooth, stress-free event where we were able to be present and enjoy! We cannot recommend Canvas Weddings enough and we wish Corinne could continue planning the rest of our lives for us!

Book with Canvas, Now!!

Booking with Canvas and getting to work with Annalise was the best thing that happened to us in planning our wedding. Annalise is amazing. Literally zero negative things to say. She is so very responsive, she anticipates any hiccups and solves for them before they even come up, is so experienced in not only planning and executing a wedding at a high level but also knows the ins and outs of your vendors and their needs. She gets to know her couples and is able to help create a wedding that fits THEM - nothing is or felt copy/paste.

We planned a wedding with 10-15 vendors, got ready at 2 different locations off site of reception, dealt with difficult ceremony logistics, and Annalise never broke a sweat. I don't know how she does it.

Annalise is a burst of sunshine and the queen of keeping it cool. I have a vivid memory of telling Annalise towards the end of our wedding not "if anything went wrong today, I have no idea about it" and it is so true! She made the final two weeks of planning and our wedding day completely stress free - she's that good!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us the most special day, Annalise!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
